#Breaking: this is a shot of the dangling construction crane in Midtown #Manhattan. http://t.co/GuFNEfmgOHpic.twitter.com/aUazxDsCc8— MyFoxNY.com (@MyFoxNY) October 7, 2013

The Fire Department of New York tweeted that the crane's load is unstable. Workers lowered the crane's load a few hours after it got stuck, according to ABC 7 in New York.

The box was hanging about 20 floors up in the air, ABC 7 reported. The news station also pointed out that New York City is under a tornado watch and the Department of Buildings issued a reminder earlier in the day to secure all construction sites because of the forecast of high winds.

Just last year, another crane caused problems for the same building. The top half of the broken crane, damaged by Hurricane Sandy winds, dangled over the street and shut the block down for a week.
